Multiple sources tell Fox News that FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Alethea Duncan has been temporarily reassigned following her initial presser in which she stated: "This is not a terrorist event."
It was terrorism.
After the original presser, the FBI put out a statement using the word "terrorism." Attorney General Merrick Garland and President Biden also used the word "terrorism" in their statements.
No other details were offered about Duncan's new position, but she is still with the FBI.
The FBI declined to comment.
Authorities say that Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42,had an ISIS flag in his truck when he drove it into a crowd full of New Year's revelers on Bourbon Street, killing 14 and injuring dozens of others. After plowing through the crowd, he jumped out of his truck and began shooting at local coppers, who returned fire and killed him.
Jabbar was pronounced dead at the scene.
